This recipe for grilled chicken breast features a marinade that is simple but bold, with Italian seasonings, fresh lemon juice and a healthy dose minced garlic.

The chicken breast has a thicker side than chicken thighs. It is difficult to grill because one side becomes rubbery before the other. This problem can be solved by pounding the chicken into an equal thickness. This also helps to tenderize the meat, and gives you an advantage. This is the same method I use to make my juicy Italian Baked Chicken breast.

The chicken breast is leaner, and therefore more prone to being overcooked. Last tip: tent the chicken in foil just before you remove it from the heat. The chicken will continue to cook and remain juicy while it rests. This is a trick that I learned from Adam, my resident grilling expert.

This recipe for grilled chicken breast will always give you juicy and flavorful chicken, whether you are looking to add more lean protein into your diet, or you just want something tasty to cook any night of week!

You can serve it with a salad such as Tabouli, Panzanella or Panzanella to create a delicious and healthy meal in less than an hour.

Ingredients of Grilled Chicken Breast

This recipe for grilled chicken breast uses ingredients that can be found all year long. Don't hesitate to use your grill outdoors in the summer, and a grill pan inside when it becomes cold.

  • Skinless and boneless chicken breasts.Lean chicken breasts that are more filling than other cuts. Breasts should be a light, pink color with a smooth texture. They should not show any signs of discoloration or graying.
  • Italian seasoning. A good Italian seasoning can be used to quickly add flavor. You can make your own Italian seasoning using dried basil, thyme rosemary, marjoram parsley oregano and red pepper flakes. You can also save time by purchasing a jar of Italian seasoning in the spice aisle at your local grocery store.
  • PaprikaGives grilled chicken a splash of color with a mild heat. You can choose smoked paprika if you want a stronger flavor or sweet paprika if you prefer a milder heat.
  • Red Pepper Flakes: Although optional, red pepper flakes give this recipe the perfect kick. For a milder version, you can use black or Aleppo pepper. If you don't like heat, just skip it.
  • Garlic : A healthy dose of minced garlic gives this marinade its power. You can adjust the marinade to your taste.
  • Zest:Zest adds flavor to the marinade. The final 30 minutes of cooking the meat in lemon juice will tenderize it and balance out the savory taste.
  • Extra virgin Olive Oil:A drizzle of extra virgin olive oil enhances the marinade. Use a buttery, smooth variety like our Italian Nocellara.
  • Kosher Salt:Lowers the taste of the chicken as well as the marinade.
  • Parsley A final sprinkle of parsley brings freshness.

How to grill chicken breasts

Grilling chicken breast is easy with a few simple techniques. Be sure to remove it from the grill before it is fully cooked. The foil will allow it to finish cooking, ensuring that the meat won't be dried out.

  • Pounded the chicken breasts. Place a chicken breast into a large zip top bag. Then, seal the bag at the top by pressing out the air. Use a mallet to flatten the chicken to about 1/2 inch thickness. Continue pounding the chicken breasts one by one.
  • Prepare the marinade.In an oversized bowl, combine two teaspoons each of Italian seasoning and red pepper flake (if you are using it). Add 5 garlic cloves minced. Lemon zest and lemon juice. Mix the olive oil with 1/3 cup. Add the lemon juice 30 minutes before grilling the chicken if you wish to marinate it for longer than 30 minutes.
  • Season chicken with kosher sea salt. Add the chicken to the bowl of marinade, and coat it.
  • Grill : Lightly oil the grill grates, and heat to medium. When the surface is hot, place the chicken in a single layer on the heated surface. Grill the chicken for approximately 2-3 minutes on each side or until it reaches an internal temperature of between 155degF to 160degF.
  • Cover the chicken and allow it to rest. Transfer it onto a large platter and tent with a large sheet of foil. Cover the chicken and allow it to rest for 5 minutes.
  • Garnish the dish: Sprinkle 1/4 cup chopped parsley on top and serve.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is regular olive oil okay to be used in place of extra virgin?

You can substitute extra virgin olive oils for regular olive oil in the Mediterranean diet. Extra Virgin Olive Oil, (EVOO), has a higher quality, more nutritional benefits, and a milder flavor. Regular olive oil, however, is still an option. Regular olive oil works well for everyday meals, such as roasting vegetables to stir fry dishes. It is more affordable than EVOO and may be more suited for high heat applications like deep frying. It doesn't contain the same nutrients as EVOO. So make sure you get all of these benefits in your diet.


Is it okay to eat milk on the Mediterranean diet

Yes, milk can be consumed on the Mediterranean diet. Dairy products such as low-fat yogurt and cheese are an important part of this diet, providing calcium and other key nutrients. Milk is also nutritious and should be included in moderation as a drink in your daily routine, along with other beverages like coffee and tea. It can also be used to make oatmeal and smoothies, if desired. For sustainable farming practices to be promoted when buying milk, it is best to use organic varieties. Add milk to your breakfast dishes such as smoothie bowls and avocado toast to ensure you get essential vitamins, minerals, and a balanced start every day.


Is the Mediterranean Diet expensive?

The Mediterranean diet is generally inexpensive, with affordable and accessible ingredients. You can find many staple foods at your local farmers' market or grocery store. Shopping for organic, high-quality products, or special items, such as extra virgin oil, can be more costly. You should set a budget and plan your meals accordingly. Saving money is possible by using leftovers from past meals, and bulk-freezing food such as fish or grains.


Can the Mediterranean Diet allow for vegetarians?

Yes, vegetarians can follow the Mediterranean Diet. Vegetarians can omit animal proteins such as poultry, fish, and red meat to follow this eating style. They could choose various plant-based options for protein sources like legumes, nuts, and seeds, which are staples in the Mediterranean Diet. Healthy fats such as olive oils, olives, or avocados can help to replace the protein source. You can also incorporate alternative dairy sources like tofu and soy yogurt to get vitamins and minerals, while still following a vegetarian diet. You can also try other options such as mashing beans with toast, adding nuts or seeds to salads and bowls, serving hummus throughout the day with vegetables, or substituting ice-cream with frozen banana slices for dessert.


Statistics

  • Aim to get 20 to 35 percent of your total daily caloric intake from fat, and for saturated fats to represent less than 10 percent of your total caloric intake, advises the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. (everydayhealth.com)
  • In one study, the healthiest eaters at age 50 had a nearly 90% lower risk of dementia than those with the least healthy diets. (heart.org)

How To

How Can the Mediterranean Diet Reduce Your Risk of Heart Disease and Stroke?

The Mediterranean diet is an eating style that emphasizes healthy fats, whole grain, legumes, fruits and vegetables. There are many potential health benefits associated with this diet, including improved blood lipids, glucose control, reduced risk of depression and certain kinds of cancer, better weight management, improved cardiac health, enhanced cognitive functions, and better cardiovascular health. Additionally, research indicates that following this dietary pattern could reduce the risk of heart disease and stroke.

It is possible to incorporate Mediterranean-inspired foods into your daily diet by swapping high-calorie snacks like chips for nutrient-dense vegetable appetizers or other traditional greens or beans dishes. In order to improve your appetite after meals, you can add spices and other ingredients derived from fruits, vegetables, and nuts. For added nutrition, dairy products such as yogurt, cheese, or milk should be consumed in moderate quantities throughout the day. To complete the Mediterranean experience, olive oil should be used as the primary cooking fat. Red wine can also be enjoyed occasionally.

Combined with regular physical activity on an average vigorous level, one could see even more significant increases in short-term results and long-term positive impacts on body composition and overall health benefits, including chronic disease prevention. The Mediterranean diet encourages eating well and maintains a healthy nutritional balance. This can help to reduce one's chances of suffering from stroke or heart disease.
